Can Canned Chicken Soup
Tastes Like Mom’s?
BY KRISTEN AIKEN
s your resident obsessive
food nerds, we sometimes have to speak the
hard food truths. Ready?
You need to know that no canned
chicken noodle soup will ever, ever
beat the taste of homemade soup.
But, this is real life, and in real life
sometimes we get sick and/or lazy.
And when we are sick and/or lazy,
knowing which brand makes the best
canned chicken noodle soup can really benefit your happiness.

So, armed with plenty of water
to combat the salt-induced dehydration, we blind-tasted 11 popular
brands of chicken noodle soups in
cans and boxes. We discovered a
few things: 1) holy cow, there really is a lot of salt in these things
(we’ve listed the sodium per serving), 2) even in a blind taste test,
your tastebuds will recognize
Campbell’s soup, and 3) sometimes
the winner of our taste test
really surprises us.
As always,
this taste
test was
in no way
influenced
or sponsored by
the brands
included.
